Tool-path simulation reduces the need for dry and proof runs.The online Help version is continually updated with new articles and represents the version that will be incorporated into the next service pack of DriveWorks. Additionally, the assembly mode provides the power of being able to simulate the actual machining environment including table, clamps etc, thus almost completely eliminating any chances of error during actual machining.CAMWorks® includes industry standard feed/speed library values. SW users can therefore generate tool paths for multiple parts and also multiple setups of the same part with utmost ease. Automatic finishing including planer, flow line and topographic machining cyclesĬAMWorks® supports SW assembly mode.Roughing, semi-finishing, finishing and single point operations are supported. Machining operations are presented in a familiar operation browser format. CAMWorks® also supports automatic stock creation and operation generation. The technology database allows methods and expertise to be captured for improved efficiency and plant-wide consistency. Significant productivity gains are realized when CAMWorks® is leveraged with SolidWorks and Microsoft Excel to produce families of parts.

AFR recognizes features on native SolidWorks part models or imported solid parts via IGES, SAT or Parasolid.Ĭhanges made to the design of the part can be immediately reflected in the CAM system.

CAMWorks® presents machinable features in a familiar feature browser format that allows the user to manually define features from faces, sketches or etches. Holes can include attributes such as drilled, tapped, bored or reamed. CAMWorks® uses the latest in programming technologies.ĬAMWorks® employs automatic feature recognition (AFR) that identifies more than 30 prismatic features, including pockets, slots, holes, bosses, etc. CAMWorks® also represents a faster concept in manufacturing, while ensuring design integrity and increasing productivity. Existing SolidWorks end users can simply add CAMWorks® as a plug-in application.ĬAMWorks® uses the familiar SolidWorks and Microsoft® Windows® interface, so it’s easy to learn and easy to use. It also eliminates time-consuming file transfers. This close integration means CAMWorks® uses SolidWorks geometry to generate tool paths to ensure that the part you machine is the same part you’ve modeled. (Formerly TekSoft Inc.) is the most advanced CAM solution available and is fully integrated to operate within the SolidWorks environment. The integrated, associative, feature-based CAM solution for SolidWorks.ĬAMWorks® from Geometric Technologies, Inc. A CAM solution delivering machining intelligence.
